Maria Dolores García teaches psychology at the University of La Laguna (ULL) including the Master degree in Training of Teaching Staff of Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Professional Training and language Teaching. She also is part of the Doctoral program in Psychology at this university, in the line of research about psychology of language, education and methodology.
Currently, together with María del Carmen Muñoz de Bustillo, she is committed to teaching, practicing and researching the social constructionism in educational and community contexts. Both share a line for doctoral theses and final projects of Master’s and Undergraduates Degrees from collaborative, narratives and generative inquiry premises.
In the educational context (obligatory and higher university education) the topics that they treat are related to the educational relationship and the co-construction of knowledge in the classroom; the creation of art and playful space as a supplement for meaning; the design of innovative experience education via collaborative processes; the educational evaluation as a challenge; the educational research as conversational process.
In the community context, their attention focuses on young offenders through relational responsibility and the opening of new possibilities from the perspective of multiple identities and narratives.
